My friends and neighbors were asking me to knit them scarves, neckwarmers, and make them challah covers, as well as other items, when I was unemployed last winter. I'm still getting requests from friends, so I decided to start a business and design quilted Judaica for gift items and sell hand-knitted scarves, neckwarmers, hats & kipots.

How It All Started
It is such a great feeling knowing I can use what I learned from my mom and turn it into a successful business, while doing what I enjoy. I first learned to knit and sew when I was 10 years old. Later I learned to crochet and quilt, also from mom.
I always liked knitting, sewing, crocheting and quilting, but it has brought so much to my life since I've been living in Israel. I started teaching about 9 years ago. I love to see my students happy and succeeding with their projects.
I'm truly blessed to have been given this lousy luck of being unemployed so much that I have been able to make money from what relaxes me and that I love. Thanks ma for giving this enjoyment and the skills I have to enable me to have a successful business selling my hand-made items.
